AI Video Path Overlay for Real-Time In-Play Wagering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current sports betting platforms lack the ability to wager on the movements of players or objects within the field of play during a sporting event, particularly in fluid sports like soccer or basketball, where stoppages are minimal, and there is a need for adaptable wagering options that reflect the actual path of players or objects.
Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing video and artificial intelligence to wager on the path of players or objects in real-time, involving data retrieval, path selection, probabilistic outcome display, and comparison with historical data to project and overlay the path during a live event.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current sports betting platforms offer wagering on entire sporting events or individual aspects, then wagering opportunities are available, but the ability to wager on player or object movements in the field of play is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sporting event into discrete player movements and paths within the field of play, allowing wagering on specific segments rather than requiring wagering on entire events or pre-defined aspects. This enables granular betting opportunities on individual player trajectories.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces video analysis technology and AI algorithms as intermediaries between the live sporting event and the wagering platform. These intermediaries capture, process, and transmit player movement data to enable real-time path-based wagering.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wagering is based on the path of player or object in the field of play, then new wagering opportunities are created, but there are no current solutions to compare the projected path to the wagered upon path
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual or mechanical path comparison methods with AI-driven video analysis systems. These systems automatically track player movements, project future paths, and compare them against wagered paths with high precision, eliminating the need for human analysts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where actual player paths are compared against projected paths in real-time. This feedback mechanism allows the system to update predictions, adjust probabilities, and provide immediate results for path-based wagers.
3Productivity
If more stoppages in play are introduced to create wagering opportunities, then wagering frequency increases, but the adaptability to fluid sports like soccer or basketball decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous wagering opportunities during fluid sports by analyzing player movements in real-time without requiring stoppages. The system processes video data continuously, allowing bets to be placed and resolved throughout the continuous flow of play in sports like soccer and basketball.
4Measurement precision
If real-time video analysis and AI projection are implemented, then path prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal AI video analysis platform that can process and analyze player movements across multiple sports and contexts. This multi-functional system handles various field layouts, player speeds, and sport-specific movements through a single integrated architecture, reducing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A system and method for utilizing video analysis to enhance in-play sports wagering by overlaying potential play outcomes with the live video and adjusting the display of the potential outcomes based on the video analysis of the actual play's outcome.
